Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is particularly applicable to boards for use in interior and dry construction, creating new walls and facing shells in rooms, or paneling panels on walls, ceilings or roof surfaces of rooms, and related methods. About.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Large boards, such as gypsum board, fixed to a suitable support are well known in the field of interior construction. In a dry construction method, for example, these boards are fixed to metal profiles to create new partition walls. Alternatively, the boards can be fixed to wood slides bonded to walls for the purpose of constructing panel boards, or these boards can be fixed to roof slopes, for example, beams of roof trusses. it can. The board can be greater than the height of a person and has a width of more than 1 m. Such boards are known as "one-man boards" and have, for example, dimensions of about 1.50 x 1.00 m. In addition, larger standard boards exist, for example, with dimensions of 1.25 x 2.50 m, which can usually be handled by only two people.
[0003]
At the abutting edges of these boards, where the boards are adjacent to each other, it is necessary to make the transition as flat and unobtrusive as possible. To this end, the adjacent edges of the boards are flattened at the abutment areas of each of the two boards. The boards are thus beveled so that a relatively smooth flattened area is obtained at the abutting edges of two adjacent boards. This flattened area can be filled with filler. Thereafter, the woven strip is inserted into the wet filler. By this means, the boards are connected to each other in a tensile strength manner, for example, so as to prevent the formation of continuous cracks in the wallpaper applied over the boards.
[0004]
Known from DE 297 19 986 is a panel member which can be connected to an adjacent panel member by the coupling of a tongue and a groove. The grooves are bounded by so-called groove checks. The side of the groove located on the side facing away from the relevant room is provided with a recess for receiving the fastening means. The disclosed panels can be joined to the substructure by the described securing means.
[0005]
One set of combinations consisting of a locking member and at least two panels is known from EP 1 120 515, which is not issued in advance. The first panel is fixed to the base by clips. The tongue of the second panel is inserted into the groove of the first panel and is retained on the sub-structure and on the first panel by a projection formed in the clip.
[0006]
A similar arrangement is known from WO 01/38668, which is likewise not published earlier. In this case, the panel is fixed at a fixed position by a holding member fixed to the base. In both publications described above, the locking of the panel is performed by a separate locking or retaining member, so that the assembly is relatively complex, inflexible and subject to large dimensional tolerances.
[0007]
Known from DE 100 01 076 is a panel element configured for a floor covering provided with a special tongue and groove connection that allows a locking connection with an adjacent panel element. is there. In other words, at the time of connection, at least one of the parts which contact the groove is at least easily deflected, and this part is at least substantially displaced rearward and in a mating manner provided on the tongue of the adjacent panel A locking connection is formed to hold the piece.
[0008]
German Utility Model Publication No. 200 17 114 discloses, for example, that there is a lower groove in which a recess, such as a screw, can be threaded through to connect the panel member to the substructure. Panel members for floors, ceilings or walls on the sides of the wing. The adjacent panel member can be connected to a first panel member secured in this manner by a form-closed tongue.
[0009]
A similar configuration is known from US Pat. No. 1,350,706 for panels whose surface is at least made of metal.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
It is an object of the present invention to provide an interior that can be connected to additional boards of the same type in a low resource expenditure and time saving visually attractive manner for the purpose of forming a new wall or paneling. The goal is to create boards for use in construction and dry construction. Furthermore, a suitable method is created.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
This object is achieved firstly by a board according to claim 1.
[0012]
Accordingly, first and second sides are provided on at least two opposite sides of the board coupling means for enabling a lock coupling to each of the adjacent boards based on being coupled to another board of the same type. Provided. These connecting means can be provided, for example, in the form of a tongue and a groove. In particular, the coupling means on the two opposite sides are mutually catchive. As a result, the side edges of the board can be connected in a locked or connected manner to the opposite side edges of the same type of board. As used herein, the term "locking connection" refers to the temporary deflection occurring particularly at one of the wrapped portions, such as at the connection area, for example, at one of the groove sides delimiting the groove, and as a result, It means that it can accommodate (generally) locking projections (referred to as dimensions) that are preferably sized. In other words, in the case of such a locking, snap-fit or click-fit connection, a part is moved so that it passes through the dead center. Based on this, a part moves at least partially backwards in a resilient manner so that the locking projection is held firmly. In the coupled state, the parts thus moved can still remain at least slightly flexed, so that the forces pulling the boards together continue to work. However, it is also conceivable that, while in the coupled state, there is no deflection, but at the same time the boards coupled to each other are not moved apart. With regard to the coupling means provided on the board for providing a locking connection, it should be emphasized that these coupling means are provided integrally on the board. In other words, these coupling means are produced directly in the board material. As a result, no expensive installation of further coupling means is required.
[0013]
Such a locking coupling has the important advantage that interior construction work boards, which are to be fixed to the ceiling and / or wall, can be joined together in a previously unknown manner without a visible joint. The term "without a visible joint" means that there is a joint or abutment between two adjacent boards, but the joint is nevertheless of such a low profile and of such small dimensions. In particular, the joints represent very well-finished wallpaper butt joints, so that the effect of a particularly well-attached wallpaper is created or the joint is not apparent in the case of other surface types. This is so that the described locking, snap-in or click-in connection ensures a good appearance without the need to release the abutment between the boards. Because it prevents two adjacent boards from moving apart.
[0014]
Furthermore, a coupling is thus formed between the two boards that connects the two boards perpendicular to the side edge in all directions. In other words, the two boards cannot be lifted relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the surface of these boards. Furthermore, these boards cannot be easily separated from each other in a direction parallel to the surface of these boards. This is prevented by an interlock. This interlock is effective at least for the period of use, ie, as long as the board constitutes a partition or paneling. Nevertheless, by properly disengaging the boards from each other, the boards are configured to be separable from each other in a non-destructive manner without damage and to be reusable differently. be able to.
[0015]
The board according to the invention can be used to create a new wall, or in a room, in that additional fastening means allowing the board to be firmly fixed to the support structure are on the board itself or two interconnected boards. Particularly suitable for fitting panels to existing surfaces. In particular, these fastening means can be provided at the joining position of the two interconnected boards, so that the board can be firmly fixed in this position to the support structure by means of suitable clips or adapters made of metal or plastic. To As will be described in detail below, these additional fastening means may be provided so that the respective board is secured to the support structure by suitable clips, screws or nails. The fixation to the support structure can also take place by gluing or bonding and also by hooks and loops or magnetic tape. This advantageously ensures that the two boards are secured not only to each other, but also to the support structure made of wood, metal or plastic beneath these boards. This support structure can for example consist of a roof beam. As a result, the board according to the invention can replace the gypsum board used so far. Compared to gypsum board, firstly, the board according to the invention offers a distinct advantage in that it is substantially about 30% lighter than gypsum board. Thus, the board can be transported and installed with little labor. Furthermore, the boards according to the invention can be easily processed, for example, with a compass saw or a hand-held arc saw. On the other hand, the use of the board according to the invention, unlike the use of gypsum board, does not involve the filling of butt joints and the attrition of filler composites. This advantageously also preserves the extensive cleaning work normally required with gypsum board use. In particular, the boards according to the invention are advantageously suitable as suspended ceilings, light partitions, decorative enclosures and decorative surfaces for attic work.
[0016]
It should be noted that the dimensions currently intended for boards according to the invention are, for example, 2.65 mx 41.5 cm or 62.5 cm. Furthermore, the so-called short length of the board may comprise a length of about 1.3 m, preferably 1.285 m. The coupling arrangement of the coupling means ensures that the abutment between two adjacent boards is largely inconspicuous, in particular less noticeable to the viewer than, for example, the joints of the abutting wallpaper strips, for example with glue I do. In particular, the filling of the seam and the application to the textile strip, which have been required hitherto, can be omitted as a result. This means a substantial reduction in work and ensures a satisfactory and visually attractive work result. Furthermore, these coupling means ensure that two adjacent boards are aligned at the same level with respect to their surface. If the mounting to the support structure below the board is used alone, it is not always guaranteed that the board will be on the same level and a protruding bias will be created on the surface. However, the coupling means configured on the boards can be configured with such precision that they are attached to each other in such a way that the surfaces of adjacent boards are exactly flush.
[0017]
Furthermore, boards according to the invention can advantageously be provided with favorable physical properties with respect to construction. For example, the board has a low Bi flammability classification according to DIN 4102. In addition, the required F-30B classification for single and two-family homes can be reached. In addition, sound and heat insulation requirements can also be advantageously met by the board according to the invention. In particular, when made from the wood material MDF, the boards according to the invention can be classified as very low pollutant materials, meeting the requirements of the "Blue Angel" seal. Finally, boards according to the invention can be airtight or diffusion tight to meet various rules.
[0018]
Preferred developments of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.
[0019]
An embodiment which has proven to be particularly advantageous is that the further fastening means serving to secure the board to the support structure is constituted by at least one recess, which recess is used to connect the two boards. In the condition, it is in the joining area of the two boards and within this recess can receive a retaining clip. In other words, the space for receiving a part of the fastening clip is suitably provided in the joint area between two boards of the same type according to the invention. This allows the first installed board to be secured to the foundation by use of one or more fastening clips. Fastening with a fastening clip is achieved in this area so that the subsequent connection of the second board to the already firmly secured first board is not disturbed. As a result, advantageously, several board combinations can be seamlessly connected to each other and connected to the support structure in a reliable manner. A particular advantage in the use of the fastening clip is that the board according to the invention can be mounted such that it can be moved in all directions relative to the fastening clip. In particular, a larger surface paneled with some boards according to the invention can also move or "activate" in a floating manner in a direction perpendicular to the respective abutment, so that all boards are Due to the fact that it can be moved to a certain extent relative to the clip, the joint does not open during construction or turning of the board. The clip holds the board on the support structure.
[0020]
In order to secure the board to the support structure, it has also proven advantageous to form at least one groove which serves to receive a part of the retaining clip. Such grooves extend outwardly from the edge of the board into the material of the board. Also, the corresponding rim of the retaining clip can engage in this groove so that the board is retained on the support structure.
[0021]
Alternatively or additionally, very satisfactory results have been achieved in at least one recess in the edge area of the board. This recess serves to receive a screw or nail head. These recesses can each be configured as countersinks for individual screws or individual nails. However, the recess can also be configured as a groove over a length along the edge of the board. As a result, the number of fixing devices (ie screws, pawls) used can be freely selected. In the broadest sense, such recesses are present in the joining area of the boards when the two boards are in joining and both screw or nail heads, and "tempering" Can also be formed as a free space suitable for receiving a slightly protruding part of the clip that can be applied.
[0022]
Essentially, any type of locking, snap-fitting or click-fitting operation is suitable for a locking coupling between two boards of the same type. However, it is now preferred to form the coupling profile such that the second board to be joined to the newly installed and already installed first board can be pivoted. In other words, the second board pivots at least slightly around the abutting edge between the two boards currently under consideration and is thereby fixed in place.
[0023]
For both the previously described embodiment and the embodiment of the locking connection made by the substantially flat insertion of the tongue into the groove, the board according to the invention has a lower groove side, i.e. It is preferable that the groove boundary opposite to the surface protrudes from the groove side surface provided on the visible surface. Additional fastening devices for receiving screw heads or nail heads, or similar fastening means, can be used, for example, if one or more of the projecting areas does not need to be mounted slightly obliquely past the upper groove side. It may be provided in the form of a recess. Rather, they can be mounted in areas projecting relative to the upper groove sides in a direction substantially perpendicular to the board surface.
[0024]
The locking coupling is configured such that, for a locking coupling between two boards of the same type, the two boards are movable relative to each other in a direction parallel to the interconnected edges. More preferably, As will be described in detail below, this means that in addition to the newly installed and already installed second board, the third board to be coupled to the first board will have its own first board. The movement parallel to the coupling edge, following the coupling to, creates the possibility of coupling to the second board at the edge perpendicular to said coupling edge.
[0025]
In this respect, the board according to the invention is such that, in addition to the first and second pieces considered so far, which are opposite one another, the third and fourth sides of the rectangular board are also locked, snap-fitted or clicked. Preferably, a fitting coupling is provided. As mentioned above, it is thereby possible to achieve a particularly reliable and advantageous seamless board combination in all directions. Furthermore, it is possible to panel-mount a large number of boards according to the invention, even on relatively large interior surfaces, where the boards themselves are too large for this purpose and are therefore no longer manageable. In this context, as will be explained in more detail below, the coupling on the third and fourth sides may be a substantially flat movement or a downward movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the board surface in a push button manner. Can be done by
[0026]
With regard to these coupling means on the third and fourth sides of the board according to the invention, these coupling means are in a tongue-groove configuration in which, in the coupled state, the tongues project into the groove not more than 6 mm, preferably not more than 4 mm. Has proven to be advantageous. This means that the newly installed third side under consideration simply moves this relatively short distance to lock the third board at the third or fourth side with respect to the already installed fourth board. Means you need to. The board according to the invention is particularly advantageous, since when mounting the top board as a wall fit, a relatively narrow gap field will eventually remain towards the ceiling. In the final stage, for example, a gap of up to 8 mm is created, with an additional relatively small gap which may be necessary for the application of the tool to move the third board in a suitable manner, this gap being simple and visual. In an attractive manner, for example with an acrylic or fluid-permanently resilient sealing compound. The described coupling, which requires a relatively short locking or snap-fitting distance, is essentially different from the above-described coupling according to the invention, consisting of two boards and a support structure located below these boards relative to each other. It is the result of a separate development. In other words, the special advantage of a snap-fit or click-fit coupling with a short locking or snap-fit distance is exhibited even without the features described above. Furthermore, this applies to all the embodiments described below of such a locking coupling on the third and fourth sides of the board according to the invention.
[0027]
For the grooves provided on the third and fourth sides, it is particularly preferred, but not limited to, that the cavity is adjacent to the actual groove serving to receive the tongue. For this cavity, the cavity is preferably narrower than the groove serving to receive the tongue. In other words, the grooves are tapered in a direction inside the board to define the cavity. This serves to provide two groove sides that limit the groove with the required flexibility to form a locking or snap-fit coupling. By this means it is possible to realize its own function and at the same time a short locking distance described. With this in mind, a relatively shallow groove depth per se is essentially sufficient. Even in the case of such relatively shallow grooves, the described cavities are interconnected creating an advantageous groove side bendability.
[0028]
Furthermore, for a meshing on the third and fourth sides of the board according to the invention, a substantially conceivable development result is also preferred for the first and second sides. In this situation, grooves are provided which open in the direction of the visible surface of the board in the broadest sense. Thus, on the opposite side, the tongue side extends in the direction of the ejection surface of the board. Two adjacent boards can thereby be joined to one another in a push button manner through movement substantially perpendicular to the board surface. This type of connection can be achieved by a linear descent in all four directions of the rectangular board. In the case of a board that can pivot within its own first or second side, the new board to be installed is placed in the first position so that it can be mounted in the correct position on this side with respect to the already installed board. It can engage on the third or fourth side. A seamless surface can thereby advantageously be made of adjacent boards which do not require the newly installed board to be moved parallel to its first and second sides.
[0029]
The additional fastening means of the board according to the invention for attaching to the support structure can furthermore be constituted by a self-adhesive layer provided at least in part on the back of the board. Such a self-adhesive layer can be protected until the time of installation by a film or the like. As a result, the adhesive is activated following mere removal of the film, and then secures the board when pressed against the support structure.
[0030]
In certain applications, another advantage is provided when the board according to the invention comprises a suitable adapter for mounting on a part or member of the support structure. It should be noted in this connection that the support structure does not necessarily have to comprise a separate member used for mounting the board according to the invention. Rather, members acting together with the means of fixing the board can also be provided integrally on the support structure. For example, the clips described in more detail below can be formed on a support or sub-support as an integrated component, particularly as an extruded profile. In this regard, the fastening means provided on the board and the fastening means of the sub-structure operating therewith need not necessarily be provided separately from each of the board and the sub-structure. In each case, the invention extends to a combination of a board according to the invention and provided fixing means, which are attachable to or attached to the secondary or support structure, or integrated on the support structure. Because such a combination advantageously creates a partition wall or a particularly single possibility for paneling the interior surface of a room.
[0031]
To be cited as a further preferred embodiment of the fastening device provided on a board according to the invention, it is provided for this purpose that a board according to the invention is mounted on a secondary or support structure such that it is securely held on this structure. At least one recess, in particular a machined cut, or at least one hole, which works with the provided members or parts. For example, a machined notch may have a locking channel or several locking openings that engage appropriate portions on the substructure and secure the board according to the invention to the substructure in a push-button manner. Could be configured. The mounting of an adapter, for example a screw mounting, on the back of the board according to the invention is also conceivable. The corresponding mating component is fixedly secured to the substructure and allows the board according to the invention to be pressed, slipped or locked.
[0032]
It is further preferred that the board is at least partially composed of a wooden material, in particular an MDF or HDF board, or of plastic. Furthermore, the boards according to the invention can consist, at least in part, of a variant of said material modified with additives or additional layers. In each case, a density of about 500-800 kg / m, preferably about 750 kg / m, is currently preferred for MDF board material. In the case of plastics suitable for the boards according to the invention, the density is lower, in particular of about 100 to 150 kg / m. Said material allows, with the required precision, the information on these contours necessary for fastening two adjacent boards together and for fastening the individual boards to the support structure. Furthermore, the surface texture according to the invention can be constructed in a particularly attractive manner on the surface of a wooden material by pressing the paper or film with a melamine resin. Thus, on the one hand, boards can be produced at low cost. On the other hand, it is possible to fix such a board securely without difficulty. With the use of such wooden materials, especially as a laminate with a layer applied to the material impregnated with melamine resin, the surfaces described are particularly simulated and these surfaces are worn, scraped, It can be advantageously implemented to be resistant to scratches and collisions and easy to clean. Finally, since similar laminate panels are used, for example, as floor coverings, such boards have high load bearing capacity. As a result, it is possible to use the board as a durable wall or ceiling panel without further protective aftertreatment. In particular, by means of suitable fasteners, loads of up to 50 kg can be firmly fixed to the board according to the invention. The preferred material, MDF board, further offers the advantage of being a thermally comfortable material. Because the material has a low coefficient of heat transmission, the surface of the material feels "warm". Thus, the walls facing the boards according to the invention feel warmer than concrete or stone walls or lime cement plaster surfaces.
[0033]
With regard to the appearance of the boards according to the invention, it is advantageous if additional fixing means are created so that they are covered when the two boards are in a combined state. For example, the board may be provided with a strip of material that projects beyond the board edge visible on the front side. As a result, the board can be secured to the support structure in this position by pawls or screws. This strip of material can be covered by a corresponding edge of an adjacent board.
[0034]
To ensure that the two boards are joined together, it is important that the joining is performed in an interlocking or locked manner, but according to the invention, the corresponding joining means is that of the two interconnected boards. It is configured such that a forced fit is formed between them. Thus, two adjacent boards support each other under tension. And there is no danger of an unattractive seam being formed between the two boards.
[0035]
A particularly advantageous development of the board according to the invention is that the board is formed as a facing shell or partition wall, and that the board has one or two surfaces each suitable as a room interior surface. A partition for a room can thereby be created in a particularly simple manner. The ceiling or floor, and the vertical profile, configured in any manner, on which the board can be mounted by suitable coupling means, in such an embodiment, the board according to the invention is two adjacent It may be referred to as a support or substructure within the meaning of the present invention, which is attached in addition to the locking connection between the boards.
[0036]
In this case, the board according to the invention comprises a multilayer structure and may comprise an intermediate layer. Such an intermediate layer consists of, for example, a honeycomb or hollow body board, preferably 40 mm thick, facing on both sides of the board according to the invention, instead of the previously known gypsum board, or a fastening board. can do. Thus, the engaging coupling means according to the present invention allows the partition wall to be configured substantially more easily than is currently possible with the prior art. Thereby, the partition wall is created in an elaborate manner by the vertical member and the gypsum board firmly fixed to this member. In this embodiment, the locking connection means can be formed by both the intermediate layer and at least one existing upper layer. As mentioned, the fixation without the use of vertical members can be achieved by the construction company, for example by strips provided on the upper and lower edges, which are firmly fixed to the floor and ceiling by pegs. .
[0037]
The board according to the invention for an interior construction comprises a typical surface texture produced by a craftsman, particularly a surface provided with projections and depressions of such a surface finish. Wallpaper, gypsum-treated surfaces, especially fine, rough or textured plaster, or surfaces created by painting techniques, are craftsman-created wall surface finishes prefabricated on interior finish boards according to the invention at the factory. Can be cited as an example. Quite obviously, such a surface, for example formed from gypsum board, on an existing wall or panel must be created by a number of individual processing steps. The production of such wall finishes usually involves six operations: filling, smoothing, loading, papering and priming and overcoating of butt joints between two boards. In addition, this creates a considerable amount of fouling, requiring disposal of a large number of different and separate materials. All of the six operations described, as well as cleaning and processing operations, can be saved through the use of boards according to the present invention.
[0038]
This is because it is advantageous if such surface textures have been previously provided on the board for interior finishing work. In order to create a partition or a panel with a suitable appearance, it is only necessary to mount several boards next to each other. There is no need for post-processing, in particular for filling, plastering or paper application and painting. It is possible to distribute the six operations quoted, which results in an overall time saving in interior construction finishing work or dry construction and allows the room to be occupied a few days earlier.
[0039]
Furthermore, the surface of the board according to the invention can advantageously be made such that it can be painted with ordinary paint or provided with a wallpaper or tile surface finish. Thus, if the user so desires, a different coloration or surface finish may later be applied as needed, as is often the case with a craftsman-made wallpaper envelope. Compared to conventional methods, the use of such a board according to the invention, for example provided with a base film, still performs four operations: filling, smoothing, loading and applying a primer. Alternatively, the board according to the invention can be composed of the materials described above, in particular MDF boards, and can be coated with modifications or additives or additional layers. As a result, the board can be coated using the operations described above. Furthermore, the boards according to the invention are left exposed and are coated or layered in this state. All possible and common textures for a room decor are considered surface textures that can be provided on a board according to the invention. For example, an appearance corresponding to the appearance of a gypsum wall can be formed by a suitable texture. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a texture that can be seen from the wallpaper. For example, a coarse fibrous appearance can be created. Known as wallpaper is a fiberglass mat that is formed substantially from a relatively coarse fabric. The texture created in this context can also be provided on the surface of the board according to the invention. This applies equally to fiberglass mesh. Irrespective of the physical form of the surface, the interior framing work is such that the application of the board according to the invention can subdivide the numerous steps heretofore required to form the final wall surface finish. , Which is substantially simplified by the board according to the invention. Furthermore, the tiled surface may be referred to as an artisan-created surface that can be mimicked by the board according to the invention.
[0040]
A particularly attractive appearance of the board according to the invention is achieved if the latter is provided with a coloring which likewise corresponds to the coloring produced by the artisan. With particular consideration of this situation, there is irregular coloring, such as is created when, for example, chip, roller or sponge application techniques are used. In other words, the interior wall coloring produced in this way by the craftsman can be replaced by the coloring applied correspondingly to the board according to the invention in the factory. For the user, the production of the partition walls or the paneling of the interior surfaces of the room therefore involves substantially less expense, especially in terms of installation time and costs, and less fouling. The coloring of the surface of the board according to the invention, which constitutes the visible surface, can further correspond to the appearance of wood or veneer and to any design, stones, tiles or so-called fantastic decoration styles. Furthermore, the board according to the invention may be provided with pure wooden veneer on its visible surface. Further, changes in the materials and surface coatings are possible. In particular, the boards according to the invention can be provided with any suitable coating as a surface. Cork or plastic surfaces, natural or artificial stones, applied cements, flow stones, possibly with aggregates or additives, may be cited as examples.
[0041]
With regard to the appearance of the boards according to the invention, and with respect to the appearance of adjacent boards, it is advantageous that they are irregular over the entire surface of at least one board and preferably over several boards of the same type. . Thereby, the surface of the board according to the invention is created in particular by simply repeatedly adding together small surface textures. This results in an appearance in the form of a "repeating pattern" that can be recognized even by an unskilled observer. In contrast, for a board according to the invention, it is preferred that the surface texture is irregular, at least on the entire surface of the board, and is thus repeated on at most an adjacent board. However, preferably, the surface texture is irregular over several adjacent boards. This can be achieved, for example, by the use of suitable large press plates in the production of boards according to the invention, as described in more detail below. In this embodiment, the surface texture is repeated at sufficiently large intervals. As a result, images of repeating patterns cannot be created in any way. Rather, an irregular, craftsman-created image of the surface texture is created.
[0042]
Alternatively, or alternatively, the front of the board may be provided with a different type of coloring. Thus, in addition to the surface texture, a corresponding coloring can be created, such as, for example, a tiled pattern, a wood decoration style or the like. However, if necessary, only the front colored design can be provided without three-dimensional texture. In the case of this embodiment, the coloring design simulates the effects of three-dimensional light and shadow, or in each case mimics the coloration of a smooth, for example, wallpaper decoration style wall surface finish. it can.
[0043]
With regard to the susceptibility of the boards according to the invention to fouling and the versatility of their application, the front faces which prove to be advantageous to provide a front face of the board with a surface sealant able to withstand moisture are noted. A moisture barrier surface coating or surface sealant can be advantageously provided to create a surface that is particularly simple to use, and can be maintained without difficulty using a wet cleaner.
[0044]
The board can advantageously be rectangular in shape. The sealing material can be applied to the long edge or the long and short edge. This allows for elastic support on adjacent boards, ie, adjacent boards in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Thus, for example, slight movements due to expansion of the material are compensated by the deformation or expansion of the elastic sealing material. As a result, no open, clearly visible joints occur between adjacent boards. Alternatively, it must be mentioned that it is conceivable to allow or even emphasize the seam in this position. For example, it is possible to allow such a seam with an appearance corresponding to the appearance of a wallpaper hit. As a result, this can be approved and create an image of the wallpaper surface created by the craftsman. Alternatively, the edges of the board according to the invention are beveled to create an enhanced seam, for example in the area of the abutment of the V-shaped channel into which the joint material to be colored can be inserted. It can even be in the form. As a result, the seams are emphasized and a corresponding appearance is created.
[0045]
Instead of the sealing material, provision can be made for the board to be provided with an adhesive so that the board achieves a tighter combination with the adjacent board and ensures that gap seams are prevented. In order for the user to be able to handle the adhesive advantageously without difficulty, before the board is mounted or a two-component adhesive is used, one component of each of which is applied to the opposite edge of the board A provision can be made for the adhesive to be provided with a cover strip that can be removed shortly before being placed. When the two boards are joined, when the two components of the adhesive are mounted such that they abut each other, the components of the adhesive are combined and only perform an adhesive bond.
[0046]
Although a tight, seamless connection between two adjacent boards may be compensated for by a suitable locking profile, in some applications it may be advantageous, alternatively or alternatively, for the two adjacent boards to be joined together by an adhesive. It is. In this embodiment, it is advantageous if glue receiving channels, which are filled with glue in the bonded state, are provided in the region of the adjacent edges.
[0047]
For an attractive appearance, a protective strip, especially a self-adhesive protective strip, is provided on the surface, at least along the edge to which the adjacent boards are applied, and the two adjacent boards are joined together At this time, it is further advantageous that the protective strip is removable. Particularly when an adhesive is used, the surface of the board is thereby protected against fouling.
[0048]
Further simplification for the user can be achieved by a preferred embodiment in which the board according to the invention is provided with an insulating material, preferably on the back, so that such material does not have to be applied separately. This can be both an insulating and sound insulating material. For example, an acoustic or sound-insulating mat, which typically requires only a few millimeters of thickness to provide advantageous sound insulation and reduce structural sound, can be preferably applied to the back of the panel. Furthermore, for example, Styropor insulating mats or polyurethane, for example, with a thickness of 60 mm to 80 mm, can be provided to advantageously reduce sound transmission and for thermal insulation. It is thereby possible to influence the heat insulation and sound insulation of the board according to the invention. Furthermore, in general terms, the heating or air conditioning device or the heating or air conditioning component layer can preferably, but not exclusively, be provided on the back of the board according to the invention. This can be, for example, in the form of a heating film having a relatively small thickness and provided with a metal film or electric wire which can be heated by passing an electric current. As a result, the board according to the present invention can be used as a room heating source. Alternatively, it is conceivable to provide such a heating film on the visible surface according to the invention, which constitutes a "technical base" which is itself visible under the decorative paper normally provided or as the visible surface of the board according to the invention. Can be Such a heated film thereby becomes an integral component of the interior finishing operation and is not bonded as a separate layer to the board for the interior finishing operation. The integration of such a heating film or any heating device by pressing against the tissue is independent of the invention described in the preceding paragraph and the various embodiments of the invention in connection with the production of the tissue. The new innovation that we have made. In other words, the board is hereby created for the first time from a thin tissue by means of an integrated heating film or device. It should also be noted that with respect to the heating film, it can itself be composed of a metal that can conduct electricity and emit heat, as a printing material in the form of a currently common printed circuit board or card.
[0049]
For example, moisture and / or temperature changes can cause shrinkage in the board or support structure. Thus, it is thereby advantageously possible to arrange for the individual boards to be movably mounted on their support structure. That is, the board is installed in a floating manner, so that, for example, the support structure itself or the material of the board can expand without resulting in bending or distortion of the board. In contrast, the boards are advantageously connected to one another in a fixed manner, for example by a locking connection or an adhesive connection as described above.
[0050]
If such a fixed play-free connection of the boards is not provided, the play between the boards can be advantageously compensated for by the aforementioned sealing material. A smooth closing surface is thereby maintained such that the seam cannot be opened.
[0051]
From the flooring material area, the individual panel members have a maximum width of about 30 cm, whereas a one-man board according to the invention can have a width of 60 cm or more. For example, they have already mentioned that the abutting edge and any form of irregularities present at this edge have the same visual effect as the visible edge of the wallpaper strip applied to the butt joint. As created, it can be dimensioned to match a standard wallpaper strip size.
[0052]
The boards provided by the present invention can be prepared to produce a relatively low surface gloss level of, for example, 2.5-5 gloss level points measured with a gloss level meter (Dr. Lang, measuring angle 60 °). . This can be achieved by using a suitable lamination configuration, for example, a suitable pressing plate. Through the use of such a pressing plate, the top layer of the laminate can be stamped in a manner known per se. As a result, the surface configuration, and especially the surface roughness, can be affected by such a pressing plate. Apart from the configuration of the pressing plate, the surface roughness of the board, and thus the surface roughness of the laminate, is affected, for example, by the type of paper used, the resin grade, and, if applicable, by liquid or solid additives. obtain. Thus, for example, relatively coarse paper can be used, or additives can be included in or added to the resin.
[0053]
Such a surface roughness greater than the surface roughness of the floor covering not only creates more matte board surfaces that are visually desirable, but also allows for better adhesion of the varnish or paint. Thus, to determine the color immediately during the production of wall and ceiling panel fittings, or to change the appearance of wall or ceiling panel fittings after a period of use, individual boards or fully created ceilings or The wall panel fit can be overcoated.
[0054]
For board, wall and ceiling panel fittings according to the invention, provision can be made, if necessary, to allow the board to breathe. For this purpose, in the production of the laminate, provision can be made for decorative paper with the desired coloring, for example coated with a melamine resin. Depending on the desired pattern, a visible or invisible substance which repels the subsequently added melamine resin can be imprinted. As a result, the hermetic seal otherwise affected by the melamine resin breaks at these locations. Since the boards in the wall or ceiling area are usually exposed to such high humidity loads in the floor area, such breaks in the seals should be provided without adversely affecting the durability of the board or wall and ceiling panel fit Can be. In this way, a vapor permeable wall and ceiling panel fit can be achieved.
[0055]
Large split seams between adjacent boards should be avoided in order to achieve as uniform an appearance as possible over a large area. Advantageously, provision can be made to use both an adhesive and an edge, which allows the adjacent panel members to mate. This engagement can be made relatively weak. As a result, the boards can be easily joined together without having to overcome the forces due to excessively high pressure. This is because, when additional adhesive is applied, the mating simply needs to hold the adjacent boards together until the adhesive dries and the final bonding of the two boards is expected. . The use of tension bands is thus unnecessary, as can be seen, for example, from the adhesive bonding of floor panel members. As a result, the work process is accelerated.
[0056]
Where applicable, appropriately contoured rollers can be used as an alternative to the pressure plate. For example, if a laminate is used as the board surface, achieving the proper profile height of the surface of the board material will be achieved with the normal 70-80 g / cm for a suitable paper, eg, non-resin based paper. ³ Can be facilitated by the use of paper with a greater weight than the standard material. In addition, the additional layers can be used as so-called "underlays" in order to increase the compressibility of the surface layers of the laminate and thereby allow a particularly good profile height.
[0057]
The board according to the invention comprises, firstly, various laminations of a laminating surface known per se, secondly, a core body which can be composed, for example, of wood material, and thirdly, such as reaction paper, which is itself known It can be advantageously created in a particularly inexpensive manner, in that the reaction material is simultaneously bonded to form a work piece. This can be achieved in a particularly energy-saving and thus inexpensive manner at a pressure of about 40 kg / cm. As a result, such a laminated board can be produced substantially less expensively than in production known as HPL or CPL boards per se. With these HPL or CPL boards, the production of the laminate must be completed first, and then the laminate is subjected to a core and reaction material under a pressure substantially greater than about 70 kp / cm in a second operation. Combined until
[0058]
The object according to the invention is secondly achieved by a method according to claim 28 for producing a new wall of a room or for fitting a panel on an existing surface of a room.
[0059]
Therefore, first, the first board is installed. Thereafter, the second board is bonded to the first board, and a locking connection is created at adjacent side edges of the two boards under consideration, preferably at their longitudinal edges. Thereafter, the second board is secured by further fastening means. As mentioned above, the second board of this embodiment is preferably fixedly secured to a separate support structure. The method according to the invention allows for an inexpensive and secure interior finishing operation to create new walls, in particular partition walls, or to panel fit on walls, ceilings or roof surfaces. An attractive appearance is achieved as a result of the method according to the invention, since no post-processing is required on the surface. Furthermore, since the same level arrangement is ensured by the locking connection according to the invention, it is ensured that no offset is formed at the abutment of two adjacent boards.
[0060]
Preferred developments of the method according to the invention are described in the further claims.
[0061]
Advantageously, the board can be installed by means of a pivoting movement, whereby it engages. In the case of particularly unfavorable operating positions, for example when working overhead, it is thus possible to achieve easy operation and quick installation of the board simultaneously with a secure fixed connection of the connected boards. In this embodiment, first, the first board is installed. A second board tongue is added diagonally to the side edge of the first board. The first board is provided with a groove, at which time the tongue is inserted into the groove as far as possible. The second board is brought flush with the first board by a subsequent pivoting movement. This pivoting movement makes it possible to carry out regular meshing. Obviously, it is in principle possible to reverse the installation sequence in that the groove of the second board is placed on the tongue of the first board and then swiveled. It should be noted that this pivoting movement can be performed both around the short side and the long side of the board of the present invention. As will be described in more detail below, bonding to another, ie, adjacent, board on the long side or short side, is then made in a push button manner, either by a substantially flat movement or by a descent movement perpendicular to the board.
[0062]
However, or alternatively, it is possible to arrange for the two boards to be arranged coplanar and to be joined to each other merely by a lateral movement, prior to their joining. The locking connection can be achieved, for example, by a suitable edge profile of the panel member. This edge simply pushes the two boards together with the lowest possible resistance so that the user can apply enough force without difficulty when pushing the boards together over a total length of 260 cm. Advantageously, such a configuration is provided.
[0063]
As mentioned above with respect to the board according to the invention, the corresponding fastening clips and grooves on the board can be used, for example, as fastening means. Alternatively, the fastening can be effected by means of a self-adhesive layer or screws or nails which are combined in a suitable manner with recesses in the board.
[0064]
In connection with the method according to the invention, a third board following the first and second boards is connected to both the first and second boards, forming a locking, snap-fitting or click-fitting connection. More preferably, it is mounted as such. Thus, the boards according to the invention can be connected to one another rather than continuously in a particular direction. Rather, relatively large surfaces can be panel-fitted with boards according to the present invention in that rows of boards are arranged adjacent to one another, rather than rows of individual boards. The aforementioned second and third boards constitute a row such that the whole is placed next to the first board under consideration.
[0065]
Furthermore, it is preferable for other applications to be moved at least slightly parallel to its joining edge together with the first board in order to couple to the second board. As described above with respect to a real board according to the invention, this displacement takes place over a relatively short distance, for example less than 6 mm, preferably less than 4 mm.
[0066]
As an alternative to this method of joining by flat engagement or click-fitting, the connection between the third and second boards can be made on its own at the same time as connecting the third board to the first board. A third board is lowered substantially parallel to the board surface at an edge abutting the second board. As a result, the appropriate mating profiles engage each other in this area. This movement has already been referred to above as the "push button" movement.
[0067]
As an alternative to this method of joining by flat engagement or click-fitting, the connection between the third and second boards can be made on its own at the same time as connecting the third board to the first board. A third board is lowered substantially parallel to the board surface at an edge abutting the second board. As a result, the appropriate mating profiles engage one another in this region. This movement has already been referred to above as the "push button" movement.
[0068]
As a further alternative, a greater holding force and a greater locking force of the adjacent panel members are thereby made possible by a suitable edge profile, whereby in this embodiment the panel members have their own overall length of 260 cm. Are not simultaneously slid over each other, but these two panel members are initially co-planar aligned but are set at an angle to each other. As a result, a V-shaped gap is created between the two boards. Due to the pivoting movement of the second board, this gap can be closed, so that in each case a suitably separate contact point is created, where the engagement of the two boards exerts a relatively large force. Need to be added. This merely generally separate contact between the two boards creates an approximately zippered seam of the two boards, so that in each case the closing force on the two boards needs to be applied to the corresponding, generally separate areas There is. In this way, the mounting of the board is simplified. Also, the force to be applied to the inside is reduced, while at the same time a high holding force can be guaranteed.
[0069]
The above-described installation procedure can be performed, for example, on two opposite sides of the two longitudinal boards. If the tongue and groove profile are provided on the other two sides, for example on both ends, this can advantageously be configured to allow a mere sliding movement of the two boards. As a result, the second board is first joined to the first board at a common longitudinal edge, and then joined to the third board at a common end edge by longitudinal movement.
[0070]
If a peripheral edge profile is provided on the board, this can be created directly from the ground board material itself, for example. However, provision can also be made for the use of special profile strips that will be attached to the edges of the actual board. Thus, for example, such a profile strip can be used inexpensively as a pre-assembled semi-finished product given the final profile and bonded to the actual board.
[0071]
However, for better dimensional stability, provision can be made, for example, to use a profile strip made of a material which is more suitable for the edge than the actual board material. In this case, the strip is first attached to the board, and the board can then be prepared to be guided by a contouring process, for example with a milling machine.
[0072]
Furthermore, it is possible to make the profile strip from a freely deformable material, for example liquid plastic or foam plastic, and to prepare this strip to be glued onto a board while the strip is being formed. it can. In such an embodiment, the board can be guided along a correspondingly contoured hollow form, the hollow form being filled with plastic or plastic foam, and the foam or plastic relative to the rest of the board. Glued. It is possible to achieve a deep adhesion of this material to the board material, especially if the board material is porous, for example in the form of a wooden material, when a particularly suitable pressure is applied, for example, by the expansion behavior of the foamed plastic. it can. If necessary, such a strip is then attached to the actual board as a semi-finished product, and in a second processing operation, for example by grinding, the semi-finished product is ready to be formed into the desired profile It can be performed.
[0073]
For example, in the case of covered fixing of the board to the support structure by means of suitable devices by means of fastening clips, screws or nails, for example in the case of a paper or gypsum board surface, and Direct abutment of adjacent boards, for example by means of board material or by means of an intermediate glue or seal, so that a wall, ceiling or ceiling panel fitting of a particularly uniform and continuous configuration as known can be performed. It is particularly advantageous for the board to tolerate.
[0074]
The embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings are described in more detail below.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0075]
In the very schematic FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates two boards of the same type for interior finishing work. One board 1 has a groove 2 and the other board 1 has a tongue 3 extending into the groove 2 of an adjacent board 1. The combination of tongues and grooves secures the two boards 1 against forces which act transversely to the plane of the board and tend to lift these boards away from the support structure. These boards 1 are fixed in the opposite direction so as to be supported on a support structure not shown in FIG. For both the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and all the embodiments described below, the surface of the board 1 according to the invention, which is in fact the upper side in the representation of FIG. 1, is directed towards the interior of the room. It should be mentioned that the surface is a so-called visible surface. This visible surface is identifiable in that, on the contact surface 7, two adjacent boards do not have a joint that can be identified on this surface. In all further figures, the visible surface is accordingly constituted by a surface represented as a lower surface.
[0076]
The board 1 is secured by a contact surface 4 against a separating force which pulls them apart and acts transversely to the longitudinal edges of the board 1. Along this contact surface 4, a rib 5 formed on the underside of the tongue 3 engages the two boards 1 and supports it on the side walls of the holding channel 6.
[0077]
The forces acting against these separating forces and tending to push the two boards towards each other are absorbed by the contact surface 7. At this contact surface, the two boards 1 support each other, and this contact surface extends from the front, ie from the inside of the room, backwards from the surface of the two boards facing the support structure.
[0078]
In the installation state shown in FIG. 1, two boards constitute a part of a wall or a ceiling panel, and four contact positions 8a to 8d are created. The contact position 8c is equivalent to the contact surface 4. These four series or flat contact points 8a to 8d fix the two boards 1 in place against separation or bending forces, so that two boards 1 in the longitudinal direction with respect to each other Only a parallel movement of the board 1 is possible without having to overcome further holding forces apart from frictional forces. In particular, the contours of the edges of the boards 1 to be connected to one another are arranged in such a way that four defined contact positions 8a to 8d are created. In this case, two separate contact points 8 c and 8 d are formed in the front area of the groove side with the holding channel 6. The contact position 8d provides for accurate positioning of the board in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the board. Similarly, the contact position 8c is provided for accurate positioning in a direction parallel to the surface. In this case, the distance measured parallel to the surface of the board between the abutting edge 7 and the flank inside (right side in FIG. 1) of the rib 5 is such that the abutting edge 7 and the forcible fit are convenient. It can be larger than the distance between the well created contact points 8c in the holding channels 6,50. Furthermore, the transition between the retaining channel 6 and the front perimeter of the cooperating groove side has a relatively large radius, so as to create a smooth but tangible engagement of the ribs 5 in the retaining channel 6. Is in the form.
[0079]
FIG. 1 shows the joining of two boards 1 without glue. However, the recess 9 above the tongue 3 and below the upper contact surface 7 is a glue receiving channel intended to receive excess glue when the two boards 2 are permanently joined together in a manner sealing the joint Work as
[0080]
The boards 1 can be installed by means of a swiveling movement, whereby they mesh with each other. In this case, the own board 2 is shown, for example, the left side board 1 is installed first. The tongue piece 3 of the second board 1 is obliquely applied to the side edge of the first board 1. The tongue is inserted as far as possible in the groove 2. This is facilitated in that the groove 2 has an upper edge 10 which rises towards the opening of this groove 2 and thus constitutes in particular the insertion channel 11 shown in FIG.
[0081]
Similarly, the tongue 3 comprises a lower surface 12 which is beveled towards the free end of the tongue 3, ie has a rising direction. This insertion movement is limited on the one hand by the contact of the tongues with the upper and lower border edges of the groove 2 and on the other hand by the contact of the two boards 1 in the region of these upper contact surfaces 7. As shown in FIG. 1, the continuous turning of the right side board 1 works, and the tongue piece 3 is completely inserted into the groove 2 and meshes at the contact surface 4. In other respects, with respect to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the disclosure of WO 01/51733 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0082]
FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the two boards 1 having essentially similar, ie, matable, engaging edge shapes, in which the shape of the two boards 1 is reduced. Produces a weakly configured interlock. In view of the substantially larger dimensions of the interior finishing board and correspondingly larger board edge lengths compared to standard floor panels, a weaker lock to simplify board installation. The ability to create a stopping resistance is advantageous. If necessary, for example, in the case of a board having a rectangular shape, different edge shapes are given to different portions of the outer peripheral edge of the board so that the edge shape of the longitudinal edge is different from the shape of the edge edge. You can also prepare for it. Recognizable retaining ribs on the side of the tongue 3 facing towards the support structure 15 and corresponding recesses in the groove sides, so that two adjacent boards can be joined together by a substantially flat movement. , A tongue and groove configuration is formed. In other words, the board shown on the left side of FIG. Although this is not shown in the drawing, it must be mentioned that the fastening clip 16 is clearly secured to the support structure. This can be advantageously achieved, for example, by countersunk screws that do not protrude beyond the surface of the retaining clip and thus do not interfere with the mounting of the board according to the invention. Alternatively, different types of screw heads may be received in the hollow space shown between the web 18 and the edge of the board. Following the mounting of the first board, shown on the left of FIG. 2, the second board, shown on the right, has been moved laterally and placed on the support structure. The displacement parallel to the surface of the board presses the tongue into the groove and a locking connection is created by the interaction between the retaining rib and the receiving channel for this retaining rib.
[0083]
In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a seal is provided between the two boards 1 in the area of the contact surface 7. Used for this purpose are additional strips of sealing material 14, which can be applied earlier to one of the boards 1 at the factory for quick installation, or if desired by the user. For example, a silicon strip can be applied to one of the boards.
[0084]
The two boards 1 are firmly fixed to a support structure 15 shown schematically by a retaining clip 16. The latter fastening clip consists of a base plate 17 which can be glued, nailed, screwed or likewise connected to the support structure 15. A web 18 extends from the base plate 17 and an angled rim 19 extends from said web into a groove 20 of the board 1 shown on the left. As shown in FIG. 2, the fastening clip 16 has a relatively wide base plate 17. Like the rest of the retaining clip 16, this base plate may extend a distance in a direction perpendicular to the projection plane of FIG. 2, resulting in a retaining strip 16 substantially in the form of a strip. In the embodiment shown, the web 18 extends substantially perpendicularly from the base plate 17 and the angled rim 19 now extends substantially perpendicularly to the web 18 and ultimately parallel to the base plate 17. I do. However, the rim 19 can also extend at an angle so that it interacts with a corresponding aligned groove 20 in the board 1 so that a certain clamping action takes place. The figure shows in a very schematic manner that the board 1 does not extend to the web 18 behind the groove 20. The alignment of the two boards 1, for example the vertical alignment of the elongated rectangular board 1, is carried out in such a way that adjacent boards 1 in each case support one another in their contact areas 7.
[0085]
However, provision can also be made, whereby the portion of the board 1 behind the tongue 3, which is shown on the right in FIG. And thereby abuts the board 1 to ensure the desired, for example, vertical, alignment of the board 1 and prevent the board 1 from tilting. In each case, however, it is rather provided that both boards do not extend to the web 18, but leave free space, for example, to allow the boards to expand due to moisture and / or temperature differences. In this way, a floating device of the board 1 is enabled. As a result, the latter can "work" in a material-specific manner without cracking due to tensile forces or wall or ceiling panel distortion due to pressing forces.
[0086]
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment similar to FIG. 2, but without a strip of sealing material 14, instead providing gluing of the two boards with an adhesive 21. In this case, the recess 9 as an adhesive for receiving the channel is filled with the adhesive 21. The adhesive 21 emerging from the surface of the board 1 can be removed with a tool 22 shown schematically.
[0087]
The tool 22 may be, for example, a blade that may preferably remove the adhesive 21 after the adhesive 21 has partially or very hardened. The tool may be, for example, a spatula that is preferably removable while the adhesive has not yet set and is soft and swelling.
[0088]
A factory-prepared self-adhesive strip 23 that can continuously remove excess adhesive to prevent damage to the surface of the board 1 (blade) or fouling (spatula) using the tool 22 Provided on the surface along the edge.
[0089]
In the case of the embodiment represented in FIG. 3, provision is made merely by way of example for creating a visual enhancement of the seam between the two boards 1. For this purpose, two edges of the board 1 are beveled and these edges receive the adhesive 21 in a V-shaped joint. However, it is also possible to form a non-beveled edge similar to FIG. 2, in which case the adhesive 21 is provided instead of the sealing material 14.
[0090]
FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the boards 1 do not engage, in which the two boards 1 are instead firmly connected to one another by means of an adhesive 21. The latter adhesive extends into the edge region of the board 1 and can be applied, for example, in advance at the factory.
[0091]
Thus, for example, a single component adhesive may be provided that is first protected against curing by a protective strip. Following the removal of the protective strip, the two boards 1 can be joined together, so that the adhesive then hardens and the two boards 1 can be joined together.
[0092]
Alternatively, each of the two interacting edge portions of both boards is coated with one component of a two-component adhesive 21 as a whole. As a result, when the two boards are joined, the adhesive causes a reaction and is activated.
[0093]
In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 41, by way of example only, a visible groove 24 is provided in the area of the contact surface 7 for carefully achieving a visible weave of the wall and ceiling panels.
[0094]
FIG. 5 shows an embodiment similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2, but with the boards 1 abutting each other directly in the area of their contact surfaces 7 without an intermediate sealing material. The locking connection, in particular the position of the contact surface 4, makes a forced fit between the two boards 1 and ensures that the two boards abut firmly in the area of the contact surface 7.
[0095]
This embodiment according to FIG. 5 allows a particularly inconspicuous seam between the two boards 1. The result is a particularly widespread image of a full-wall or ceiling panel, for example, which resembles the flat impression of a wallpaper where the individual wallpaper strips abut each other.
[0096]
The embodiments shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 substantially correspond to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, but in these embodiments the board 1 is an embodiment represented by FIGS. Are secured to the support structure 25 by screws 25 instead of the fastening clips 16 shown in a very schematic manner as in the case of. Each board 1 shown on the left is provided behind its own groove 2 with a groove lip 26 projecting beyond the board perimeter shown on the front, and the screw 25 extends through this groove lip 26.
[0097]
In order to prevent disturbing projections of the screw head and to assure a trouble-free insertion of the tongue 3 into the groove 2, the groove lip 26 is provided with all or, as in the illustrated embodiment, a screw head. Are provided, each of which can accommodate most of the recess. These recesses 27 can be created, for example, as separate depressions in the groove lip 26 by which the user can provide an indication of the position. In this position, a screw 25 is used, which is an amount for firmly fixing the board 1. However, the recess 27 can also be in the form of a groove extending over the entire length of the groove lip 26, 50, from which the user can select a respective appropriate fastening position by the configuration of the support structure 15. .
[0098]
Common to all illustrated embodiments is the fact that the board 1 is represented in a very schematic form. Contrary to this very schematic representation, they preferably consist of two or more different layers or materials: firstly from a core material, for example made of wood material, secondly, for example, the surface of a laminate Consists of The stack itself can in turn be composed of layers of different materials. In particular, this surface can have a three-dimensional structure. That is, it has holes and / or protrusions.
[0099]
Similarly, the support structure 15 is shown in very schematic form in FIGS.
As is usual with dry construction handwork, this can be, for example, an aluminum profile. However, the support structure 15 may also be a wooden lathing structure or an existing ceiling such as, for example, a stonework, a wall member, a roof beam paneled with the board 1 or the like.
[0100]
In the case of the embodiment according to FIGS. 8 and 9, the structure is similar to that of the previously described embodiment. One of the boards 1, which is the left-hand board of FIG. 8 of the board 1, has in particular a groove 2 for receiving a tongue 3 provided on the board shown on the right. Unlike the previously described embodiments, in this case the tongues and grooves are made for the pivoting movement of the board shown on the right in FIG. It is to be attached to the left board. For this purpose, for example, a bevel 28 is provided on the groove side facing the surface of the room. The tongue 3 is rounded on its side facing away from the room. And it has a suitable surface 30. This surface is carried on a correspondingly inclined surface 32 of the groove side at a greater distance from the interior of the room. A retaining channel 6 is provided on this groove side, with the transition 34 being rounded to the front side of the groove side under consideration. The ribs 5 protruding above the tongue are locked or click-fit in this rounded transition. The two boards can therefore be connected to one another seamlessly. Furthermore, a particularly advantageous variant of the contact of the two boards 1 at the defined four points already described with reference to FIG. 1 is realized in the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. The first two contact points 8 a and 8 b are locked in the front region of the tongue 3. In other words, it is locked on the side of the tongue facing the visible surface and on the side of the tongue deviating from the visible surface, respectively. The third contact position 8c is located at the point of contact between the projecting rib 5 and the rounded transition 34 of the retaining channel 6. Unlike the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, however, the fourth contact position 8d is not located between the holding channel 6 and the front edge 40 of the lower groove side. This is because free space is required in this area for the part 19 of the clip 16. In the case of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the contact point 8 d is used to define the position of the two boards with respect to each other in a direction substantially perpendicular to their surface. The contact area between the raised surface 30 and the inclined surface 32 of the groove side deviating from the visible surface is provided. As mentioned, the fixing of the position in a direction perpendicular to the board surface is substantially effected by this contact position 8d. The definition of the position in a direction parallel to the surface of the board 1 and the seamless connection between the two boards 1 is achieved by the contact position 8c. In particular, in this case, on the board with the tongue 3, the dimension between the contact position 8 c and the upper visible edge of the board is, on the one hand, the upper visible edge of the board with the groove, on the other hand , Slightly larger than the corresponding dimension between the rounded transition 34 of the holding channel, so that it is forced into engagement in this position. Furthermore, the described arrangement of the four contact points 8a to 8d is a means which should be considered independent of the use of further fastening devices, for example in the form of fastening clips 16, and which, for example, makes the floor board Presents its advantages in any board, including: If the fourth contact position 8d used to fix the position in a direction perpendicular to the board surface is the inclined lower part of the tongue 3 or the tongue separated from the contact position 8b in a straight but defined manner When provided in a contact position at the bottom of the piece, a substantial advantage is that the fastening by the illustrated clips 16 or even pawls allows the lower end side of the groove side to be used for further fastening means. There is.
[0101]
More particular evidence for the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is that at the transition, on the one hand, the area substantially parallel to the board surface and with the contact location 8b, and, on the other hand, the inclined surface 30 In between, the surface of the tongue 3 facing away from the visible surface is provided with at least a small recess 52, separating these two contact areas from each other. Thus, in other words, the bends on the side of the tongue 3 facing away from the visible surface do not necessarily have to be coupled to the corresponding bends on the side of the respective groove side. More precisely, in order to fix the two panels in a defined position with respect to each other, it is necessary to make contact only at the contact position 8b and between the two inclined surfaces 30,32. The further board on the right according to FIG. 8 is only installed after the left board according to FIG. 8 has been secured to the base by one or more fastening clips 16. This fastening clip substantially corresponds to the fastening clip described above. However, the particularity of the embodiment also shown in FIG. 8 is that the board according to the invention is provided with an additional groove (20; see FIG. 2) for receiving the part 19 of the fastening clip on the side provided with the groove. That is not. More precisely, the height of the groove side facing away from the interior of the room is, in this position, the side of the tongue board facing away from the room so that there is a free space or recess 38 for the part 19 It coincides with the (right) free space 36. Furthermore, between the front edge 40 of the groove side under consideration there and the opposite edge 42 on the tongue board, in the fastening clip web 18 connecting the part 19 to the base plate 17 of the fastening clip 16 There is a suitable free space 44 to be accepted. In this regard, in this embodiment, additional fastening means, namely free spaces 36, 44, are formed in the connection area of the two boards in their connected state.
[0102]
FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the embodiment according to FIG. This shows the dimensions of the fastening clip 16 in the direction of the deliberate connection edge of the two boards 1. This dimension is relatively short. As a result, some such clips are typically used along the edges. Openings 46 can secure the clip to the support structure, for example, by screws. As a result, a further board, the left board according to FIG. 9, can be subsequently mounted in the manner described above. With regard to the fixing with clips, the subsequently installed board, ie the left board according to FIG. 9, is movable in the direction of the coupling edge. In particular, the free space 38 is particularly chosen so that the fastening clips used do not impede such displacement. This displacement allows a further third board to be joined on the third and fourth sides (the previous embodiment involved only the first and second sides).
[0103]
In this case, the left board 1 of FIG. 8 is further attached by parts 18 and 19 of the clip 16 so that the board 1 can move in the direction of the arrow A with respect to the clip. A "floating" fixation to the base or support structure is thereby constituted. As a result, a combination of several interconnected boards can move relative to the clip 16. Also, such a shrinking or swirling effect of the board can be provided without the danger of a board having a large opening on the visible surface. This effect likewise applies to the embodiments according to FIGS. Particularly in these embodiments, it is ensured that the web 18 is at a sufficient distance from the front edge 40 of one groove side, so that movement in the direction of arrow A is enabled in all directions. There must be. This advantageously allows movement on the order of a few millimeters. Furthermore, in the case of the embodiment according to FIGS. 8 and 9, the central larger opening is in the form of a longitudinal hole. As a result, if necessary, the clip itself can move slightly relative to the support structure to which it is attached. Alternatively, the advantages can be achieved in that the support or substructure is itself movable. In other words, the connection between several boards according to the invention and the support or substructure will be robust. The panel-fitted one has a support or substructure, in particular the same wood slide or beam, movably mounted to a fixed part of the building.
[0104]
The described combinations of the third and fourth sides are shown in further figures. In this case, the embodiment according to FIG. 10 has similarities to the embodiments according to FIGS. 2, 3, 5 and 6, since the coupling is substantially achieved by a linear sliding movement. The ribs 5 formed on the side of the tongue 5 facing away from the room are engaged in a locking or snap-in manner by retaining channels 6, which are formed on the groove side, in particular adjacent to the groove 2. Groove 2 also faces away from the interior of the room. The particularity of the connection shown in FIG. 10 is that the tongue 3 is relatively short and only projects to a certain extent into the groove 2. The sliding distance required for locking is required to move the front edge of the tongue piece 3 to the front edge of the groove side face of the already installed second board when the third board is turned. , Substantially determined by the distance A between the outer edge of the tongue 3 and the front edge of the groove side facing the room. Only if this is achieved, the third board according to FIG. 10 can be moved in the left-right direction in order to adopt the mounting state shown in FIG. In the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 10, the length of the tongue 3 is substantially reduced to the dimensions required for reliable support of the tongue 3 in the groove 2. However, this allows the realization of substantially shorter insertion distances as compared to known connections that can be connected by sliding on the same plane. This distance allows even the final or "top" board to be mounted on a wall to be joined to an existing board such that a relatively small gap remains towards the ceiling. A further specialty to note with respect to the embodiment according to FIG. 10 is that the groove base is inclined.
[0105]
This also applies to the embodiment shown in FIG. It is the upper groove side according to FIG. 11, that the groove side facing away from the room extends further than the room side groove side, and that the retaining channel 6 is provided in this area for receiving the rib 5. This is different from the embodiment shown in FIG. This is preferred for certain applications and further achieves the same advantages as described above with respect to the embodiment shown in FIG.
[0106]
The embodiment shown in FIG. 12 differs from that shown in FIG. 11 in that firstly both the boundaries of the ribs 5 and the retaining channels 6 have a slightly hooked configuration. A further specialty is that the actual groove 2, which serves to receive the tongue 3, has a smaller width (top-to-bottom dimension according to FIG. 12) than the groove 2 in the embodiment shown. It is adjacent. However, this is not absolutely necessary. Rather, the cavities 48 have at least partly the same width as the grooves 2 and can also be of any form. With cavity 48, the lower groove side is itself extended to the base of cavity 48. With this longer formation, the groove side can be provided with a greater degree of flexibility and possible tongue orientation, which results in particularly good deviation characteristics. These properties are necessary to allow the rib 5 to move past the boundary of the retaining channel 6 to achieve the connection. In the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, there is in particular a lower risk of cracks forming on the basis of the groove 2 or the base of the cavity 48.
[0107]
This advantage applies to the embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, likewise, the groove 2 is adjacent to a cavity 48 which results in the described advantages. Otherwise, the configuration of the connection of the tongue 3 and the groove 2 corresponds to the rib 5 and the retaining channel 6 of the embodiment shown in FIG.
[0108]
FIG. 14 shows that the newly installed board 1, which is the left board according to FIG. 14, engages as a result of the exercise with the already installed board 1, which is the right board according to FIG. , Lastly, an embodiment in which the movement is substantially perpendicular to the board surface. In other words, the board to be newly installed is added diagonally to the already installed first or second board at its first or second side, for example, as shown in FIGS. According to the connection shown in FIG. The application is such that the illustrated tongue 3 facing away from the board surface at a substantially right angle is generally aligned with the groove 2 opening towards the upper side of the board. Upon lowering, the tongue 3 then passes through the position shown in FIG. 14 and is held in a locked manner. This takes place by means of a substantially mushroom-shaped formation of the tongue 3, which has an enlarged end on itself, in particular a locking projection 5 corresponding to the aforementioned rib. It is formed. Said locking projection is received in a suitable cavity 50 on the groove 2.
The bond shown in FIG. 14 allows several boards to be seamlessly bonded to their third and fourth sides in a reliable manner. Otherwise, with respect to the embodiment shown in FIG. 14, the disclosure of WO 01/51733 is the subject of the present application in its entirety.
